St Margaret Clitherow's Church is a Catholic parish church in Haxby, a town north of York in England. Catholics in Haxby had long worshipped at St Wilfrid's Church, York. In 1970, Mass was first said in Haxby's Memorial Hall. In 1971, services moved to Wigginton Hall, and then in 1975 to St Mary's Church, Haxby, the local Anglican church. In 1977, the parish of Haxby and Wigginton was established, and Church Farm House was purchased to serve as a daily mass centre. A building with a capacity of 250 worshippers was designed by John Black and completed in 1985. It was constructed by William Birch & Sons at a cost of £300,000. The church was consecrated on 13 March 1999. The church is broadly modern in style, clad in stone but with brick walls internally. The front is asymmetrical, the peak of the roof supported by a partially detached pier, with its own roof and two gablets. To its right is the main entrance under a porch with a shallow roof, and a window with four lights. The interior is a single space, but the altar and sanctuary are raised two steps. Stained glass in the window depicts Saint Margaret Clitherow, Saint Wilfrid and Saint Hilda, designed by Harry Harvey. At the east end are six windows with stained glass by Graeme Willson.

Haxby Hall was an estate in York Road, village of Haxby, York, England. It was built in 1790 on 22 acres (89,000 m2) of land, and was grade II listed.In 1923, Haxby Hall was the residence of Mr. William Abel Wood, J.P. During the Second World War, the hall was used to billet evacuees from Hull.In 1950, the owner of the estate, Kenneth Ward, donated the pleasure grounds around the building to the village (which is now part of the City of York), to build the Ethel Ward Memorial Playing Field. The playing field now contains a children's playground, ball playing courts, a scout centre, and more. It is also the location of the village fairs and celebrations, and the home of the Haxby football teams, who play in the York and District League.Haxby Hall itself, now with only 3 acres (12,000 m2) of land, was demolished in 1960, and in 1965 it was replaced by the Haxby Hall Residential Home for the elderly (with accommodations for 52 elderly people), and an adjoining ambulance station.

Haxby railway station was a minor railway station serving the town of Haxby in the City of York, England. Located on the York to Scarborough Line it was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. The Y&NMR became part of the North Eastern Railway in 1854 which in turn became part of the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. It closed on 22 September 1930. Bradshaws timetable for summer 1927 showed 15 trains in each direction on a weekday with two services on a Sunday. Trains operated between York and Flaxton railway station and a number of these were operated by a bus mounted on rail wheels. The initial rail bus was first put into service in 1922 and was based on the road buses operated by the North Eastern Railway (NER) in the Durham area. An additional driving position was fitted to the back and additional doors were fitted in the centre of the bus. The bus could seat 26 passengers and was initially numbered 110. This conflicted with another NER carriage number and was subsequently renumbered to Y130. In July 1923 Y130 was moved to Selby and a new rail motor (number 2130) started work. This was a slightly bigger vehicle seating 30 passengers, being 38-foot (12 m) long and weighing 17.5 tonnes (17.2 long tons; 19.3 short tons). It was renumbered 22105 in August 1926 and worked the service until increasing bus competition killed off the station (although freight services lasted until 1964). 22105 moved to Hull and was withdrawn in 1934. These two vehicles were predecessors of the many Diesel Multiple Units that proliferate on Britain's railways. The York to Scarborough line generally sees an hourly service operated by TransPennine Express services formed of Class 185 Diesel Multiple Unit trains. A number of steam specials use the line during the year.
